I Fasted For 72 Hours—Here’s What Really Happened Darryn Peterson [WZxXhFrNS7z]

I just went three full days without a single calorieno food, just coffee, water, salt, and a mountain of electrolyte drinksand I recorded the whole ride. In this episode-style vlog I walk through every high, low, headache, and science nugget that hit me during a 72-hour fast.

What youll hear me cover:

Why I chose 72 hours and how I prepped

The ugly middle: headaches, insomnia, and nearly tapping-out

The surprising energy spike once ketosis kicked in

Fasted workout stats and what they told me about fat-burn

A plain-English breakdown of glycogen depletion, autophagy, insulin drops, and growth hormone

A realistic look at weight loss vs. long-term health

My go-to electrolyte and salt tricks if youre crazy enough to try this

The first bites back (watermelon never tasted so sweet )

A quick heads-up

Im not a doctorjust a trainer sharing my own experiment. Talk to a medical pro before you mess with extended fasting, especially if you have any health conditions.
